On Friday, there’s a perfect chance for a low-cost date to get out of the house, and create a fun experience, on the cheap.
There are two selections of bears at Build a Bear, that are only $5/each. You can choose from two bears, and make them in-store, for only five bucks. It’s a great chance to get out on a family date, on the cheap. During these events in the past, we’ve always explained the kids that today, we are there to get the bear only, if we were trying to keep it an inexpensive family date at West Edmonton Mall – and knowing before we go to the store that we’re not shopping for clothes and accessories, helped. They are always happy enough to get the box for the bear to come home in with it!
For every $5 bear purchased on national Teddy Bear day, $5 will be donated to Boys and Girls Club of Canada. Note, this offer is while supplies last and we recommend getting there early in the day to make sure you’re able to take advantage of this offer while it’s still available.
To save even more, and get more bang for your buck, we like to purchase the $80 for $100 deal in gift certificates at Costco, making it even less expensive (if you’re going to get tempted with those accessories in-store). For $79.99, you get four, twenty-five dollar gift certificates, delivered via email, for you to print at home.
